Bran Muffins

Hi Mom A,

Here is the recipe for the Bran Muffins! Today, we used raisins and dried cranberries.

We went through the fridge this morning after everyone left and realized we are out of basic items including bread. So I made the muffins again. Quick, easy, and they are good for you :)

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2C wheat bran
• 1C plain yogurt
• 1/3 C butter (softened)
• 1 egg
• 2/3 C brown sugar
• 1/2tsp vanilla extract
• 1C all purpose flour
• 1tsp baking soda
• 1tsp baking power
• 1/2 tsp salt (if you use salted butter, you don't need to add salt)
• 1C fruits (raisins, blueberries, strawberries, dried cranberries, etc...)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Grease muffin cups.
2. Mix together wheat bran and plain yogurt; let stand for 10 minutes.
3. Beat together softened butter, egg, brown sugar and vanilla and add to yogurt/bran mixture. Sift together flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Stir flour mixture into yogurt mixture, until just blended. Fold in fruits and spoon batter into prepared muffin tins.
4. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre of a muffin comes out clean.
